Modern Shed Build With Natural Light & Skillion Roof
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- A timelapse and semi-instructional video of us building our modern shed with a Skillion/Clerestory type roof with windows. I modified other styles I had seen online and specifically wanted the beam over the windows to support the roof overhang. I hadn't seen one like this, so here you have it. I hope the video is helpful, or at the very least somewhat entertaining!
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
I’ve used a razor blade scraper, and also nail polish remover with success in the past
With Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan, I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I used vinyl siding on this shed Michale, but SmartSide is a good option as well. I’m no expert, so there may be some other good options out there. I’m familiar with vinyl and it’s easy to tackle with one person, so I went that route.
Major congrats on being a "true craftsman" there aren't many out there. Great looking building and love the detail in your work!
Kimo, that might be one of the greatest compliments anyone has ever given me! Although, I don't know that I'm worthy of it! Thank you!
I like the windows around the top very modern. I built something similar for my kids and used red cedar for the cladding. I liked the colour off your cladding it looks very fresh and modern. When I put my bottom runners down I put a damp proof course down to stop any dampness coming through the concrete base and rotting the frame Lovely job. ❤️ from Scotland 🏴 on lock down.
lewisdean22, thanks! The cedar you used would look great I bet! It’s so expensive here though, it’s about double the cost. I used ground contact (pressure treated) wood on the bottom of my walls as well to help with moisture rotting it as well. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Would love to have a small house built in that style. Have always love the natural light coming in at the top. Great job.
I honestly wouldn’t mind having a small man cave built this way too. It’s a simple build too for the most part
I like it. More advanced than many I've seen. It's great.
Thank you Roosevelt!
very interesting built.. tornado shelter with heavy duty steel doors.. tornado pole across the street.. very nice built, well thought out.. good job..
Good eye! We live in Tornado Alley and the storm shelter gets used occasionally ;). Thanks!
That's a great looking shed! Thanks for showing this video as I'm getting ready to built something like it. Also I like the 4Runner out in the street.
Thank you Nick! We got rid of the 4R for a Tundra a year ago or so and I really miss it!
@@PottersWork I had a Tundra but now have the 4Runner but bought an older pickup for my daily driving and hauling a few things. I'm a landscape photographer and use the 4Runner for all my photo trips. Getting ready to build a new garden shed and just love the looks of what you built. I just don't need to go as big. Thank you!
@@nickbristol3457, That's what I should have done! I do like the Tundra, but the 4R is more fun for sure! Have fun with your build and thanks for watching!
I really like your shed. The windows let in so much light and look very nice. You did a good job building. I will probably put the same windows in my shed when I build. 👍🏻
Joanne, thank you! You won’t regret it, the amount of light that comes in is awesome
Great job! I'm on my way to get one my self build and your video helps a lot. But you don't need to say your sorry all the time, you are doing a great video. Thanks!
Björn Andersson, thank you! Hope your build goes well! Would love to see pics if you think of it when you’re finished! Thanks for the kind words too :)
Very nice and dad helping is always a plus
Thanks edwardsmgmt! I love working with my dad, still learning from him all the time
I learned a lot of things from my dad, some only a father can teach. When I saw you working with your dad I thought of my moments. Enjoy them cherish them. Made me happy watching you guys and I am sure he was proud. Make more videos together. 😊
Nice job! I can appreciate the attention to detail that you've put into this project., since I'm a carpenter's daughter, and proud of it.
Silli Lilli, thank you! You are lucky to have a carpenter for a father, hope you can learn lots from him!
Thanks for making this video. I'd seen this kind of design before, with the windows on the top of the front, but this is the first build video I've stumbled across. Fairly simple because it's a shed roof, but open-feeling with the extra light coming in the top. The 4x4s have a nice look to them, don't they. That adds a bit of extra style.
dper1112, no problem! I liked the looks of these kind of sheds/mini houses and wanted to tweak it a little by using the 4x6 beams. Most importantly I had never seen one with the cantilever beams sticking out to support the roof overhang. The only part that really was time consuming, were the side windows. That was the hardest part getting that framed in. Really glad I did though, love all the light that comes in. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment and watching!
Agreed, the beams up top really set it apart from other stick framed modern sheds. I like the simple window assembly. Given the massive overhangs and PVC trim on window exterior, I don't think you'll have moisture issues.
Cool shed, I like the windows around the roof, they look great and lets in a ton of light. :-)
If you haven't moved your stuff into the shed yet I would suggest to get some self-levelling screed and pour that on the floor, that will give you a very nice and even floor and hide that old concrete floors. :-)
Thank you! I have moved in, but that’s a great idea still Morten
You have mad skills my friend. Looks awesome
Charley, thank you for the kind words!
Well done! Easy to follow without the fluff. This is the perfect style video for me.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Wesley!
It came out awesome! Paint the floor gray. It will look much better...
Jack, I plan to epoxy the floor at some point, I agree that it will look way better!
Thanks for recording your work and details, I am building a she-shed and will use this video as reference, especially the Skillion roof. There are a bunch of videos out there but many miss the mark on showing how details are done so I appreciate it, good work!
Joe Mama, I was trying to make it as informative as possible while trying to keep it short enough that it wasn't an hour long video. I had hours and hours of video when I was done and was really worried about editing it decently. I really appreciate your comment, makes me feel like I did at least an "ok" job lol. Glad it was helpful!
That’s what she shed.
I am planning a modern shed build for this summer and yours is as close to what I am envisioning. Your shed is very impressive. I love the clerestory Windows. The trick with the 4X4 posts was genius. I will definitely do that.
Bruce, thank you! I wanted to do something different and hadn’t seen anything like this around where I live. I love all the light the windows let in. I hope your build goes well and you have fun doing it! If you happen to make a video or take pics, I’d love to see them!
Very nice. Great idea to let all the light in.
Jameson, Thank you! The light is the best part
Awesome shed design. You could paint the concrete floor grey with the darker gray confetti or speckles. That would be a nice polished look.
Gayle, thank you! I’ve actually been thinking about doing this...it would really make the whole inside look a lot nicer!
A+ for the music selection 👌🏼
Christopher, thank you! Picking music is my least favorite part of making videos...I spend hours trying to find a song or songs that mix well together and that I am able to use royalty free. I love music, I just hate trying to pick something that I think matches the video and doesn’t annoy people lol. So you saying that means a lot!
Depeche Mode warming up...😆
Potter's Work well I definitely appreciate you taking that effort! I’m sooooo tired of hearing the typical Dawn-commercial-whistling-over-ukulele songs 🤣
that is one nice shed, board and Batten would look great on that.
dean lord, thank you! I agree, it would look good! I went vinyl so I wouldn’t have to paint it and it would wash easily.
Nice job, good looking, and I really like the design, especially the perimeter windows around the top!! Thanks for posting and sharing!
Rudolf, thank you! We really love the windows too, I rarely have to turn the lights on inside
@@PottersWork Why did you not notch you rafters into the top plate?
T Hyslop, I was being lazy...I made wedges that fit tight and wood glued them under the rafters instead of cutting the bird’s mouth notches to distribute the load across the top plate. Those along with the Simpson ties I thought were plenty strong.
Great job love it! I would stain the concrete dark on the higher side. Really beautiful shed.
Cindy Leeger, thank you! That’s actually a really good idea! I may look into doing that
We have used 2pac industrial paint on shed floors, concrete walls in toilet blocks and also on my sons small rental unit. It is marvellous. If it is really pitted or cracked it may need a light spread of a leveling compound first to do a real good job of it. You wont be disapointed. Good luck and i may just use your design for my next beer shed😁
Pretty cool...similarities to mine are uncanny. The glass wrapping around the sides👍
D L, you have a link to yours? Would love to see it!
@@PottersWork I have not posted it. Built on an old slab 10x20 still beeds sising finished and porch awning. I installed 36" entry on the side. It looks the same as yours except the windows..i put 3 2x3 across the front above the wall framing.
@@PottersWork is that a root cellar or bomb shelter it looks more like with steel doors..nice
I like the design scheme and colors. Good job..
Thank you!
Beautiful job. Love the roof and siding. Im hoping to build something similar so thanks for the inspiration.
Kevin, thank you! Have fun with the build, we love ours!
This is great! I’d love to try something similar
You should!
great looking build
Thank you!
Looks beautiful. I've got a similar project going at the moment, this gave me a few good ideas for some features to add to it.
Jackson, awesome! Would love to see photos when you are done if you think to check back in!
Hey, Potter's Work, is that a tornado warning siren on that telephone pole across the street? If it is, holy crap, it would be loud as hell in a storm! Great work on the shed. Nicely done.
haha, yes it is Mike...they actually took it out of service a few years ago because there is another one not too far away. When it would go off, it would rattle our windows....it was deafening loud if we had to walk to the shelter while it was on! Although, we NEVER slept through a tornado warning when it was still in service lol.
That storm siren must be REALLY loud on test day :-D Also hope you're not storing hazardous chemicals in there since it looks like those are the vents for your storm shelter. Great build and video thanks for posting it!
That storm siren is no longer in service, but when it was...holy cow! It rattled our windows. And no hazardous materials, just some bikes, shovels and ladders. I store the flammables and chemicals in another building :)
Looks Great - Gave me several ideas as to what we can do with our next shed - Thanks for sharing....
MsSephrena, thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video. Thanks for posting it
Thanks Steve! Not the best production quality, but I wanted to share it. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
that is a DAMN good shed
Metal Face, thank you!
It is beautiful! All the light from the windows is so nice. i am going to do something similar on my small house. Thanks for showing us your ides.
PasadenaSue, thank you! Would love to see your home when it’s done if you think to reply back here later
@@PottersWork It might be a while but I will. Thanks again!
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
Thanks for watching! A Like and Subscribe goes a long way if you enjoyed the video. We would like to keep making videos like this in the future! Here's a link to the shed after dark with all the lights on if you want to check that out: ruclips.net/video/Adpg5mIuB6Y/видео.html
Obsessed with caulk? Dang.
Bear, can never have too much...gotta keep that water out ;)
Looks great! A suggestion for next time you do metal roofing, it's a good idea to screw down through the peaks rather than the valleys (sounds counterintuitive I know). That will help mitigate possible future leaking problems due to the metal expanding and contracting with temperature changes.
DigitalCrimson, thank you! I actually placed the screws according to the manufacturers specifications. They show specifically to not place them on top of the ridges. I think others may be different, but in this case this is where they specify.
@@PottersWork Ok, cool! All good then. :-)
Great design! I'm sorting through shed ideas for my new residence, and this one is a top contender.
Ranger, thank you! We really like it, love all the light too!
Kansas? Then that bulkhead must be the family redoubt in case of tornadoes, either that or root cellars are making a comeback.
Really nice build you did, I love the clerestory look of the windows, at once it looks medieval and yet mid- century modern- if that is an accident take credit for it, and remember, in war victory has a thousand fathers- defeat is always an orphan.☺
Hank, yes sir, that is our tornado shelter. However we don't go down there unless the sirens are blowing :) Thanks for the kind words! And that's not far off from the description of the look I was going for lol.
Really great looking shed
Thank you so much! I wanted something different that everyone else's in the neighborhood.
Great video dude! Looks Great! 👍
Thank you!!
It looks fantastic - Great work
Thank you Finn! I'm sorry I just saw this comment!
Looks great! Clever idea with the windows and I think they turned out awesome. Thanks for making the video. Do you know the rough square footage?
Thank you Ben! The approximate size is 180 SF on the inside.
Nice shed. Looks great. Thanks.
John, thank you! I still stare at it every time I pull up to the house lol
Nice clean work, outstanding job
Thank you!
Really cool shed, mate. Nice background song. I would have aligned the window height with the door height. Next time. Well done.
I probably should have done that Luiz, but I put it where I thought I could see out the best over the fence I was going to build. Thanks!
@@PottersWork I think it looks good that they are not aligned with the door. It would've look too "matchy-matchy" otherwise. Great job in any case.
Good idea on the 4x6.
Thank you, wanted something different and strong as well. It was my 1st time using straight Douglas Fir wood beams. They are a pain to auger through lol.
@@PottersWork
Eliminated having to cover framing with finished material though. Time saved & it looks good.
@@CrowCreekOutdoors, I honestly didn’t even think about that when I was planning lol. But I was glad it saved me some time for sure!
Really nice design and well built. But it doesn't seem that you cut in any birdsmouth on the beams. The location seems odd too - cna you just build a shed on the main street?
I didn't do birdsmouth cuts on the beams, but I cut wedges and glued them to the top plate after the hurricane ties were in place. If it was a larger structure I might have done it differently. Our zoning rules in my city say I either have to build where my existing shed was, or meet the new setback requirements (which would put the shed way inside my property lines towards the middle of the yard). So I built it where the old one was (which was built before my property was annexed into the city limits). Plus I get to display my work better this way ;)
Looks like quality work. Would like to have a slightly smaller version of this for the dogs.
That's a great idea Mack!
I like that design. Nice work!
Thank you Gary!
Nice shed I really like the high windows for more natural light.if you could put windows that open from the bottom side it would let a lot of the hot air out in warmer times
Amicus, I considered that when I was planning the build...it was going to push me over my budget. If I was going to spend more time out there, I think it would be a necessity unless there was some other roof vents. Thanks for the comment!
@@PottersWork do you mind sharing what this cost in materials? I'm looking to build a 8×10 shed that's 12 ft high with the same top windows. Nice work on the shed. God bless
Great job!
Thank you HFT! It was a rewarding project for sure!
It looks SO NICE!
Thank you so much! :)
Bruh... do you even shed???
I imagine that being your slogan.
Jokes aside, this is top notch. Looking forward to seeing you wire it up. I dont know much about tornado shelters, but could you not build access to it from the shed itself?
Again... real nice.
Dying Sanity, haha thank you! I imagine we could have access from the top into the shelter, but it was an existing structure and the top is REALLY thick and reinforced with rebar. Probably a can of worms I don't want to open ;). I appreciate you watching and taking the time to drop a comment!
Nice job on your shed. The windows around the top top really add a lot of style. Do you have any plans to insulate, especially the roof? On my last shed I added 2” of rigid foam to the roof (wanted exposed rafters) and along with the vented soffits. That made a big difference inside temperature of the shed. I didn’t want an oven in the summer.
Roger, thank you! I don’t have plans right now to insulate. It’s mostly just for storage. If I was going to be in there for more than a few mins at a time, I would definitely insulate at least the roof.
did you get any moisture between the rigid foam and backside of roof? how did you vent the soffits if you have exposed rafters?
Very nicely done, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :)
Nice job man. Very nicely done.
Thank you! And thanks for taking the time to comment ;)
Unless they are already on the outside under the sheathing and siding, it looks like you need more storm straps on the interior before you install drywall. Your straps at the top and the long bolts between the windows are great, but if you were here in Florida you would need Simpson Strong Tie straps connecting the top and bottom of every stud to the top and bottom plate 2x4s.
misterlyle, not required here in Kansas for a shed. This was built to code and was permitted. I’m sure you guys have much more strict requirements with your tropical storms and sustained winds. And actually the Simpson ties I used on the roof were not required since it’s not a habitable structure. Always a good idea to check local building codes or visit with your building official.
@@PottersWork Thanks for your reply! The timber and custom windows at the top make a great look, by the way.
@@misterlyle. Thank you!
@@PottersWork You are welcome! If I find a good value on small fixed-glass windows, I may recreate a similar look on my own little yard project.
Beautiful shed!
Lori, thank you!
Hi,great build quality. Did you use any sort of seal between the concrete floor and treated bottom plate? I’m about to build a workshop directly on a concrete pad and want to get tips for sealing etc. Thanks
Paul, I silicone caulked around the bottom plate from the inside just to help with insects. I toyed around with the idea of doing the outside too, but started thinking I might trap moisture underneath the plate. Not sure if that would be an issue or not.
Great video
Robert, thank you!
amazing work. coouple things, need to block wild creatures access through space between roof beams, insulation and maybe some vents (depends on ow insulation is done). looks beautiful.
Thank you mbchudno, the soffit I installed is vented, so it helps quite a bit. I don't really have any place exposed after finishing it that birds or other critters can enter. Small insects could get in the soffit though for sure. I was thinking about insulation, but it's really just a storage shed and nothing in there needs to be climate controlled. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
"... just going to add a little bit of cinnamon and sugar...." dumps it. That was hilarious.
Yeah, I should have put the camera down while I was trying to sprinkle it on there lol…I still ate it though.
Loved the video. Look forward to seeing more!!!
Thank you! Hopefully more to come soon!
are we just gonna gloss over the fact my man dumped a shit ton of cinnamon and sugar on that toast? half the damn recipe for goodness sake.
Rick, I was wondering when someone would mention that lol. I was trying to video and “dust “ it at the same time...was WAY too much. On a side note, it was delicious
@@PottersWork i figured that was the case. you played it off well. Enjoyed the video. thanks for creating good content
"...dumped a sh*t ton of cinnamon..."
LOL, I bake as a hobby, long before the plague struck and drove the prices crazy. Last year I bought cinnamon, 1 pound for about $7, nowadays they want almost that per ounce, I can buy street smack for less.☺
@@PottersWork I;s sure it was but next time try o fry that toast with the cinnamon sugar on the pan and it caramelises that glorious cinnamon flavour right into the bread! delicious! :-)
LOL .. want some toast with that cinnamon 🤣🍞 .. nice shed .. enjoyed the video 👍
Traveler, you're not the 1st person to say that lol...I had a tough time shaking the cinnamon while watching through the camera ;). Thanks for watching!
Planning on building a shed myself that will need to be insulated with a minisplit installed. Do you know if the windows you added in would be a good option for keeping the heat/cool in or not? I really like how it lights up the inside the way you did it & am going to likely go that route myself.
Titan, I imagine if you went with insulated glass it would be better than the single pane glass that I used. However, with my shed in particular, it's such a small space that I think it would stay warm enough with a small heater. I would however worry about the upper windows sweating some with the single pane. If you do end up building one, I'd love to see it when it's done if you think to reply back later!
Great work I’m very envious
Spartan, thank you!
@@PottersWork no thank you very inspiring for sure I love the way you did the windows all around great craftsmanship
Looks awesome, quick question, the last board on the top platte looks like its a little wider than the rest. You can see it at 2:43 mark. Did you just use a 2 x 6 for the last board to create a nice boarder?
Yes I did Aaron, I used a 2x6 so I had a nice clean place to butt my siding up to so it didn’t just stop at the window. I found that was easier to caulk against too, plus it does look nice in my opinion. And thanks for the compliment man!
Shed looks great. Thanks for sharing the process. Working on one myself now. Could you share the siding and roofing / fascia you went with?
Jason Evans, sorry, I just saw this comment! The siding I used was just vinyl siding they stocked at our local Menards Store, I also used vinyl for the soffit. The roof is Copper colored Pro Panel Metal roofing. The fascia was also copper colored “8’6” Steel L-8 Fascia” that we ordered with the roofing...the Menards SKU# is 1566857. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and good luck on your build!
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
Do you have a materials list and cost to build?
Really nice build!
Yard Farmer, cost was right around $4,800. Unfortunately I don't have a materials list...I drew a 3D model of this before I built it in Google Sketchup, but that's about it. Thank you!
Windows are amazing
Jeff, thank you! We really like them too!
Great video and I love the way the shed turned out. I’m gonna start mine within the next couple months. It’s gonna be an L shaped building with the exact same design on the windows and roof style. Any more tips or tricks you could give me?
Thank you Tim! First tip would be to check with your local building/planning official and make sure you can build your shed where you want to. Nothing worse than having to tear something down that you spent weeks building! That was the 1st thing I did. 2nd would be to spend a little time and make sure all your lumber is decent and straight. There’s a lot of warped wood in those bundles. I have even taken some back and exchanged it. 3rd would be to plan on ordering materials in advance. The Douglas Fir beams and copper sheet metal I used took a while to come in (and that was before Covid). So might make sure you don’t get stuck at a standstill waiting on materials. Other than that, I would say take your time and enjoy the process. I still stand out in my backyard and stare at mine lol. Would love to see photos/video of yours when it’s done if you think about checking back in!
@@PottersWork hey thanks brother for the tips. I’ll definitely try and make a video of the progress and tag you in it. One last question, are your top windows real glass or plexiglass, and how thick is it? Thanks
@@TimTaylor0320, please do! I’d like to see it, sounds interesting being an L shape.
My windows are actual glass, I just went with 1/8” single pane glass from my local glass supplier. Took my dimensions into them and had them cut them for me. I thought about doing 1/4” but the price was kind of a limiting factor…I had already exhausted my budget on the rest of the build.
I like the look of the upper beams, what size size you cut the upright 4x6 beam pieces to make the window openings?
Thank you! The upright beams between the windows are 14” tall. My window openings are 14x32 if that helps
@@PottersWork helps a lot, I was thinking they were closer to 24 inches. Thanks
@@TRICITYERIC, I went back and forth probably 10 times on window opening size when I was designing it…tougher decision than it should have been lol
@@PottersWork I’m doing the same thing. If I’d just get to the building of it i’d save a lot of grief.
I also like the 2x6 top top plate that allows a stop for the sheathing and base for the risers.
@@TRICITYERIC, The 2x6 top plate made it way easier to finish my sheathing and siding. And starting the job is half the battle lol. That and caulking everything...I don't enjoy the tedious finish work. Framing it was a lot of fun though!
Very neat look.
Thank you! 😊
Very nice build!
Thanks Max!
Very good hank you ,,👌🏻🍀🌅💪🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Soasibo, brat! 🤝🏻 Super
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
I would have been tempted to frame up a raised floor on the low side to bring it level with the higher one.
I would love to do that, but getting the bikes and the rolling table saw inside would have been a chore ;)
the butyl tape is fine.....caulk and your done....nice job...…….
Thanks Ken!
Beautiful, I thought that was Connor Ward's "She shed" for a second there
Thank you lol!
So PRETTY !
Thanks Jason!
When you use the hurricane ties for the rafters, you do not need to cut the bird's mouth? Or am I not seeing that correctly. That would be handy. . . .
The birds mouth is a good idea still even with Simpson ties. I opted to cut wedges and glue them under the rafters instead...to help distribute the load across the top plate. I didn’t show that part in the video (because I lost the footage somewhere).
How is it holding up now that it's been a year ago?
My concern would be the water that would come off the roof from the other building. Especially since its aim straight at the side of your building.
AJ, doing great! I actually tore the playhouse down shortly after I finished the shed. I left it up during construction to use as scaffolding pretty much lol.
Why are the bolts placed on the bottom area of the roof and not on the high relief? Don't you think the water might run in through the holes?
cesazcal, are you talking the fasteners that hold the metal down? If so, that’s the manufactures recommended placement. See this link for the info: www.metalroofingsource.com/install-metal-roofing-fasteners/
@@PottersWork thanks for your reply. If that's the recommended placement, I can't imagine why. I'll check that anyways. Thanks again.
I got it. The washers offer a tight fit as they apparently have a plastic layer which is waterproof.
Yes, they have a rubber washer that gets crushed when they are tightened down. I think eventually you have to replace them after many years since the rubber will degrade eventually.
Really nice job 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😀
Dude, you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
charles bryant, thanks man! You’re going to make my head big lol.
Where does the Bilco door lead to - a storm celler? what's the history there? rehabbing that celler with the electrical install would make an interesting video, too. don't underestimate your skills. There are doctors and professors out here that can't do what you do.
Sutton Bogedain, yes it is an old storm cellar, we only go down there during tornado warnings. I have actually been wanting to do some work down there, but it’s usually got a little water standing. I need to clean the walls and coat them with some drylok concrete sealer. It’s possible that might be a future video...I would also need to kill a bunch of spiders too 1st haha!
Very impressive!
Mikey, thank you!
I enjoyed your shed build time-lapse. I was wondering, did you use 2 X 6s or 2 X 8s for your roof trusses? And, were you able by design to use whole sheets of metal roofing without trimming them down?
Mike, I used 2x6’s for the rafters since I was going with metal roofing. If I was doing shingles I may have went with 2x8’s for the added weight. I ordered my metal to that length I needed it so I wouldn’t have to cut it. My local Menards store allows you to order it any length you want down to the inch. I think many other stores do as well since it comes from the manufacturer already cut to the length specified. Hope that helps!
What size beams did you use on the slant roof? And did you cut a notch in the beams to fit both sides of the walls? Love the design and thinking with going with it for my small retirement home in the south.
Rodan, I used 2x6’s for the ceiling joists. I got a chart from my local building official to size them. I originally was going to do 2x8’s, but according to the span chart, 2x6’s were more than enough for my span. I did not cut the birds mouth notches in the joists, but I did cut and glue wedges under them instead. I don’t think this is as good, but I thought it was good enough for a shed and helped distribute the load over the top plate better than doing nothing. I hope that helps!
@@PottersWork thank you so much. It did help. Im going to build a 16x32 home on my land. I wanted that slant look to give it more of a retro look to the home, as well as the water going behind the house down slope. I was thinking of going with 2x4x20 beams.

@@PottersWork 2x4x20 framing lumber.
@@rodandanner2132, I would definitely look at a span chart. A 2x4 can’t span much of a distance (unless it’s in truss form). I’m guessing you’ll be needing some higher dimensional lumber for the distance you mentioned above, especially with an overhang on the roof.
Looks great. 👍👍. What is the overall size? Thanks for sharing 👍👍. Going to make something very similar.
Todd Gallagher, it’s about an 18x10 footprint. And thank you for the comment! Love seeing pics of others peoples builds if you think to come back here later, I’ll give you my email!
Potter's Work did you use any kind of vapor barrier? Where those anchor bolts from previous structure? Trying to decide on attachments to slab. Thanks
Todd, the bolts were already there from the previous shed, but I did add a few more. I just used a masonry bit and added some wedge anchors. Are you referring to a vapor barrier between the slab and the bottom plate? If so, I did not use one there, I just have a pressure treated bottom plate.
What size of lumber did you use on top of the walls? 2x6?? I saw a exposed lip above the wrap. I’m assuming to have some overhang for siding. 🤔🤔
Todd Gallagher, yes I capped my 2x4 top plate with a 2x6 so I had something to terminate my siding against. I thought it would look cleaner that way.
beautiful ♥
Thank you!
Thats a really cool looking shed ...good job dude !!! P.S. go easy on that sugar..!! LOL..
The sugar is the best part lol! Thanks for taking the time to say so ;)
Put some solar panels on the roof if the its level is facings sun. With a few batteries and an inverter you will use your electrical tools and have light in there.
I would love to do that! Maybe some day ;)
lov it simple shed roof.done watching bro
Thanks Mariam!
Wow 👌 nice.. congratulations its awesome
Thank you!
Would it improve insulation/heat/cool retention to double pane the glass? or buying picture windows with double pane and argon gas in between as you may lose a lot of the heat/cooling through those single panes?
Yes it would help a lot…this is just a storage shed in my case, if I was going to finish the inside or climate control it, I would have done a lot of things differently.
@@PottersWork Shed came out wonderfully either way!
